NVDA Profits Could Hit $851 Billion by 2029, Rivaling National GDPs

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is projected to generate approximately $851 billion in annual net income by 2029 if Wall Street’s forecast of a 64% compounded earnings per share (EPS) growth rate materializes. This staggering figure would surpass Saudi Aramco’s all-time corporate profit record of $161.1 billion set in 2022, effectively positioning the chipmaker’s profits alongside the GDP of mid-sized nations.

Market Context

The projection is not company guidance but rather a mathematical extrapolation of current analyst consensus. It builds upon NVIDIA’s recent Q2 FY2027 results reported in August 2026, which delivered $96.22 billion in revenue, up 105.85% year over year. Net income for that quarter stood at $59.688 billion, marking a 125.9% increase. The baseline for the 2029 projection is a trailing-12-month net income of roughly $193 billion and diluted EPS of $7.91. This trajectory assumes the compounding runway continues uninterrupted, driven by the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout.

Analysis

The path to $851 billion in net income is stepwise and aggressive. Analysts project Year 1 EPS at $13.00 (approx. $316 billion net income), Year 2 EPS at $21.30 (approx. $519 billion), and Year 3 EPS at $34.90 (approx. $851 billion). To achieve these profit levels, NVIDIA’s revenue would need to scale to nearly $1.35 trillion by 2029, roughly 4 to 4.5 times its current trailing-12-month revenue of about $303 billion. CEO Jensen Huang has noted that the entire supply chain is running at capacity, supported by a $2 trillion cloud backlog and projected hyperscaler capital expenditures of $1.3 trillion in 2027. The model relies on NVIDIA maintaining its current profitability profile, with Q2 FY2027 operating margins at 60.38% and net margins at 55.6%.
